El sistema judicial madrileño, atascado

Por otro lado, los archivos judiciales ocupan un espacio desmesurado, llegando a contar con más de 81 kilómetros de estanterías. "Es preciso poner en marcha la Junta de Expurgo y Valoración para potenciar la destrucción de la documentación archivada sin interés judicial ni histórico y facilitar así el archivo y manejo de los expedientes judiciales", informó el presidente del TSJM.

LaCie XtremKey, un pendrive eterno

LaCie XtremKey es el pendrive más resistente y duradero que podrás encontrar en el mercado, tanto que si pasaras el auto sobre él o se te cayera en una piscina con 10 metros de profundidad no habría riesgo de perder información.
Para pruebas así de extremas o incluso más, fue que el fabricante LaCie creó este dispositivo y, haciendo honor a su resistencia, es que el diseño corresponde nada más ni nada menos que a una bala.
Otro dato a resaltar es que resiste temperaturas casi inhumanas- entre -50 y 200 grados centígrados- o grandes caídas.
¿Cómo lo logra? Todo se explica en el tamaño y material de su carcasa: mide dos centímetros de grosor y está fabricada a partir de una aleación de metal denominada zamac (compuesta de zinc, aluminio, magnesio y cobre).
Dentro de ella, los archivos quedan almacenados en el clásico pendrive, con capacidades de entre 8 y 64 GB.
Su venta comenzará en agosto de este año a un precio de 50 dólares.

The Age of Stupid: A Riveting Look at Climate Change -- From the Year 2055

Why Didn't We Save Ourselves When We Had the Chance? The year is 2055. The Earth is devastated. One man remains in "The Global Archive," a vast storage facility protecting all of humanity's collective achievements in art, science, music and literature, as well as pickled specimens of thousands of rescued animal and plant species. Featuring Oscar® nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite (The Usual Suspects, Clash of the Titans) and music from Radiohead, Depeche Mode and The Stupid Orchestra, The Age of Stupid hits DVD stores as a 2-Disc eco-pack on August 24th, 2010.

Reviewed by The LA Times as "An Inconvenient Truth, but with a personality," and featured on the front page of The New York Times, The Age of Stupid mixes drama, documentary, news clips and animation to such stunning effect that it broke the Guinness World Record for the biggest premiere and reached No. 1 a the box office in its UK theatrical release.

Based on mainstream scientific projections from the present day, The Age of Stupid focuses on the archivist as he tries to work out why we didn't save ourselves while we still had the chance. He flips through a startling array of news clips, interviews and scientific reports from our current time, each its own warning sign of the destruction that is looming if we don't change our current consumption practices. Through the clips, we meet a variety of individuals -- a climbing instructor at Mont Blanc, a girl coming of age in the devastated Niger River Delta, an activist campaigning for wind power in the U.K., an oil-industry worker impacted by Hurricane Katrina -- who caution us about the impacts of our profligacy, but all face a culture that refuses to alter its habits, and hence knowingly destroys its only home.

From the director of ground-breaking indie doc McLibe, now seen by more than 22 million people, and the producer of the Academy Award®-winning One Day in September, the fresh, fast-paced and often hilarious The Age of Stupid continues to break all the rules of independent film distribution -- including raising its budget entirely from "crowd funding", powering its UK premiere entirely by solar energy (and therefore only producing 1% of the normal emissions), pioneering a new local community distribution model calles "Indie Screenings" and smashing the world record for the largest live film event when its "Global Premiere" reached over a million viewers in 63 countries. On September 21st, 2009, the event was broadcast via satellite to 700 cinemas across the globe followed by a panel with former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and Gillian Anderson, as well as live music from such notable stars as Moby and Thom Yorke from Radiohead.

The Age of Stupid led directly to the "10:10" climate change campaign, which asks everyone to cut their emissions by 10% in a year. Notable sign-ups include Microsoft, Sony, Adidas, Colin Firth, Tottenham Hotspurs, the city of Brighton and the entire UK Government. There are also separate 10:10 campaigns in more than 40 countries, including the United States.

The Age of Stupid (SRP $29.95) features over 6 hours of bonus material including a 50-minute making of documentary, Pete Postlethwaite ambushing the UK's climate minister at the solar-powered premiere, Deleted Scenes, Extended interviews, eight short films about climate and lots more.
